Qianxi County

Zhu Yuanzhang regrouped a hundred people, and finally raised ten people to small flags, and each small flag led the group of people out of the county government office.

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the desk, deep in thought, when suddenly a voice came: "Report to Councilor Zhao, the granary has been beaten to a bloody head."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he quickly asked: "How much food is there?"

"There are people outside the granary, and you don't even know it," Xiao Qi replied.

"Wang Er, please send the brothers out and let them approach the granary." Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the knife and walked out of the county government office.

"Yes!" Xiao Qi led everyone out of the county government office and gave a few instructions to the people around him before they dispersed. After thinking for a while, he followed Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Er beside him and asked: "Why are you following us?".

"Protect you!" Wang Er stared fiercely at the crowd coming and going around him. Suddenly, a man rushed towards the two of them with a knife.

Wang Er was about to take action, but he didn't expect the people around him to take the lead in raising their swords to fight with him. Zhu Yuanzhang was not used to this body at first.

After a few moves, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually began to take the initiative, found a flaw, knocked the man's knife down, and put the knife on his neck.

The man fell to his knees in an instant, and a foul smell came from his crotch. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the frightened man and said with contempt: "Why are you so stupid?".

The man just trembled and said: "Spare me, go around me."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the man and shouted angrily: "Stand up! Since you want to kill someone, you must be prepared to be killed by others."

"I have no choice. There is no food at home. If I don't rob the children, they will starve to death," the man cried.

"If you want to have a good meal, come with us!" Zhu Yuanzhang was about to kill him with a knife, but suddenly he changed his mind and said this.

"Any of you who want to eat, come with me, I am the magistrate of this county!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.

Everyone was doubtful, and Wang Er next to him shouted loudly: "See the county magistrate!".

Someone took the lead and slowly began to shout: "See the county magistrate!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Er with satisfaction.

The man kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Is what you said true?".

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not, or are you going to continue to be a bully?".

The man roared: "I'm not a coward!".

"Pick up the knife!" Zhu Yuanzhang watched the man pick up the knife tremblingly and pulled the man towards the granary.

Hundreds of people followed behind him. When Zhu Yuanzhang arrived outside the granary, looking at the turbulent crowd, Zhu Yuanzhang climbed onto a high platform.

"Stop it all!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted angrily and asked everyone to stop. A man with a sinister face said coldly: "Who are you to dare to pretend to be like me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the boning knives in the man's hands and guessed that this man must be a butcher. Before he could stop, the man had already chopped down several people.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "I am the magistrate of this county!" General Wang showed his official seal, but the butcher didn't buy it and spat: "What a bullshit magistrate! Kill me!".

"Bold!" Wang Er scolded coldly.

"Brothers, it is these dog officials who make us hungry. Come with me and kill this dog official." The butcher said and rushed towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the people behind him and wanted to retreat. At this moment, groups of soldiers appeared behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Protect your lord!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the growing team. His eyes were not focused on the enemy in front of him, but on the granary behind them.

Soon the butcher rushed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and chopped at him hard. Zhu Yuanzhang resisted and took a few steps back. Just as the butcher was about to continue attacking, Wang Er blocked him.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the evil spirit in the butcher's eyes and said coldly: "Back off!".

Let this person be his whetstone. Zhu Yuanzhang's fighting spirit rose.

The butcher quickly approached Zhu Yuanzhang and slashed with his knife. Zhu Yuanzhang was unable to resist for a while and could only duck to avoid his sharp edge.

The butcher was panting heavily and pursued Zhu Yuanzhang without stopping for a moment. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the butcher's movements and then glanced at his surroundings and immediately turned around to face the enemy.

"You shrinking turtle finally stopped hiding. In this case, go and die!" The butcher walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang with a grim smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the butcher who was getting closer and closer, staring closely at the butcher's feet. The butcher staggered and pounced forward.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the butcher who was stabbed to his core with indifference, and then he raised his knife and chopped off the butcher's head.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the high platform, raised the butcher's head high, and said loudly, "If you are willing to follow me, I will ensure that you have enough flour to eat. If you want to go against me, this will be your fate!".

The butcher's men hesitated for a moment and put down their butcher knives. Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around. Everyone saw that the soldiers behind Zhu Yuanzhang could only put down their weapons and were captured.

Zhu Yuanzhang selected a few people to enter the granary together. They were all small flags decided by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang led several people into the granary and asked them to seal the door of the granary. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have any hope that there would be much food in the granary.

But now the granary is the only comfort in the hearts of everyone. If Zhu Yuanzhang walks out of the granary, he will definitely be attacked by a group of people if he does not come out with food.

The newly established prestige was suddenly wiped out. Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the granary and saw that it was mostly empty. When Zhu Yuanzhang opened the sack, he could smell the smell of corruption.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the moldy warehouse rice and said bitterly: "These guys should all be killed!".

Zhu Yuanzhang estimated that the old rice was only enough for five days of rations in the city. Faced with this situation, several Xiaoqi asked: "Sir, what should we do now?".

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the granary and said coldly: "Open the granary and put grain in it!".

"Sir, this!" Everyone was a little reluctant.

"Don't forget, we are rebels!" Zhu Yuanzhang left a message and walked out of the granary.

The people outside the granary looked at the granary eagerly, and the scene was silent when Zhu Yuanzhang came out.

"Folks, you all go back and get your things and prepare to receive rice, five liters of rice per person!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted to everyone.

After hearing this, everyone shouted: "Master Qingtian!".

Zhu Yuanzhang personally watched the people receive food, and everyone who received the food bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After everyone dispersed, the ten Xiaoqi people around Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the soon-to-be-empty granary with sad expressions on their faces.
